رِسَالَةُ — a letter. This noun is the first link of an ownership chain: it is the thing being described, and the following words tell whose or what kind. Because it leads such a chain it stays without its own 'the' and draws meaning from what comes after. It is also the subject that the passive verb agrees with.
